Newport Gray Whale Migration Winter/Spring

The California Gray Whale makes the most spectacular and longest mass migration of any marine mammal with their round trip migration traveling over 13,000 miles. Thousands of gray whales migrate annually from the summer feeding grounds in the Bering Sea to the winter grounds of the Baja California lagoons and back again along the Southern California coast during the months of December, January, February, March and April. During the gray whale migration it is not uncommon to view half dozen or more gray whales on a single whale watching cruise making for incredible viewing opportunities.

Newport Landing Whale Watching provides daily gray whale watching cruises with multiple times available each day. One of the few year round whale watching providers in Southern California, captains are very skilled at locating both whales and dolphin. Newport Landing’s captains offer descriptive narrations that make the whale watching experience a rich one.

Climate Action Campaign is an organization with a goal to bring awareness to one of the greatest threats humanity faces today: climate change. By using the factual findings of science this organization understands that only when enough people understand the problem will it be possible to find a solution.

In the future Climate Action Campaign hopes to help pass similar policies in other cities. Enlisting community leaders, grassroots organizations, students, small business owners and policy makers, Climate Action Campaign is working hard to build a powerful and supportive base.
